Fair. :/ Jak 2 and MGS2 don't deserve to be there! :P
Hopefully we'll see Wipeout and MGS1 in the top 10...
Go Gabe!! :uberdance:
BTW, nice work texta. :thumbsup:
JJJames7 - June 13, 2005 06:55 AM (GMT)
Shit, I forgot to vote for MGS2... Where's the top 50?
rampaging_geek - June 13, 2005 07:31 AM (GMT)
Would it be right to assume these are mostly games which got only one vote?
I can see about three of the games I voted for there. :P
Texta - June 13, 2005 07:37 AM (GMT)
Actually, they all got at least 4 (ie they were ranked 7th on someone's list or received more than one vote). If they tied for score than I just put them in the order that excel put them in. But from now on they'll be in order of most votes (ie if 10 people voted for a game but put it tenth it will beat a game that one person put No 1 and no one else voted for it).
As we get closer to the number one game I'll include more information. But I couldn't be bothered doing it for all fifty games here.
~DC - June 13, 2005 08:33 AM (GMT)
Bit of a tragedy Deus Ex and Grim Fandango are placed so lowly...
quartz_donkey - June 13, 2005 08:51 AM (GMT)
And System Shock, poor poor System shock.
Cubeoid - June 13, 2005 09:41 AM (GMT)
Safe to say I think their is only one on that list that I voted for and it was fairly low down on mine anyway. Good signs for the rest of the games I voted for I guess.
BrotherEstapol - June 13, 2005 11:31 AM (GMT)
Hang on, were we actually ranking our games in the voting?
I just listed 10 of my favouite in no particular order. <_<
[DZ] - June 14, 2005 02:28 AM (GMT)
I didn't list them in order either! :/

Well me too, but I suppose that the games I placed higher up wouldve been better as they came to mind first. So it may all work out.
borgster101 - June 14, 2005 03:31 AM (GMT)
How else are we supposed to get a top 100, if the votes aren't 'ranked'.

Hey team, after reading PCPP's 100 best games of all time and thinking what a load of crap. I thought perhaps we could do a better job.
So here's how it's going to work. Come up with the ten games you think are the best ever and rank them in order. Then PM you vote to me and in a while I'll post up the results. I figure if voting is private then the results may be more interesting or something. |
The original message that you would have read to get the idea to pm 10 games to Texta. I bolded the important bit...
I'm stoked that N made it into the list - that game rocks :D
Cubeoid - June 14, 2005 08:02 AM (GMT)
I can't believe some people didn't rank them! :lol:
So the next lot are going up tonight correct? Then to the number one or are we drawing the wait out longer...?
Texta - June 14, 2005 08:30 AM (GMT)
Yeah. I made a small error so look out for that (Pro evolution got 7 points, not 71 <_<) so there's been a slight change to the list and Wizardy 8 makes the list at 52 instead of the 49 which I had it at.
Regarding voting. I'm sorry that some people didn't realise they were supposed to rank the games. With the exception of da bro Estapol if people didn't number their list I did pm them to ask them to rank them and in Estapol's case I was going to but I couldn't be bothered, so I just put them in the order I thought they should go:P (ie the order he put them in). I hope you can all handle that.
borgster101 - June 14, 2005 10:56 AM (GMT)
:lol: Well a mod should have known the rules :P .
ultracrazy1 - June 14, 2005 08:37 PM (GMT)
Fusion Frenzy at 57? Who voted for that? Definately not better than vice city, burnout 3, mgs2 and ICO...
Also N shouldn't be there :P
[DZ] - June 14, 2005 09:03 PM (GMT)
Who didn't vote for MGS??! :angry:
Hello - June 14, 2005 10:59 PM (GMT)
I'm glad I aint the one counting 'em. It'd make my head hurt. I think only one or 2 of my games have made it so far, so I'll probably have like 8 in the top 20. Excellent.
Cerebral - June 15, 2005 01:54 AM (GMT)
100. Fire Emblem
45. Crash Team Racing
You make baby Cerebral cry.

Ouch, there is something seriously wrong with that.
[DZ] - June 15, 2005 05:02 AM (GMT)
CTR was an awesome game. I played it for two whole years. I still would if I had my copy. Not that Fire Emblem sucked... but I'd play CTR over FE.
ultracrazy1 - June 15, 2005 12:05 PM (GMT)
Hm super smash bros is ten places above super smash bros melee. Isn't it weird how I didn't vote for either of those games and yet I think one is clearly better than the other?
I know that this suggestion would be too much effort for everyone, but I think we would have gota better result if we had 100 games that qualified and were unranked, and then we each ranked the qualifying games and determined the top 100 that way.
Having to choose 10 games each and making a ranked top 100 out of that gives some really warped results.
Cubeoid - June 15, 2005 12:57 PM (GMT)
Meh the original Smash bros was better than SSBM but not by much. I just found the original to be more fun and the sequel a bit cluttered. Two games that I ranked highly have yet to be mentioned. It was good to see KOTOR rank so high but damn RE4 should have done better than that.

lol - I voted for fusion frenzy too. But really it was just a vote for twisted system (the mini game where you run up a spiral ducking or jumping things) :D
The list is so funny though. I think the reason the results are not as accurate as they could be because of a small amount of voters. I'm presuming that at least two of the games I voted for that made the list didn't get any votes from anybody else.
Statistically you expect anonomlies but if the sample space is large enough they become insignificant - which is what I assumed when I voted - that due to the number of votes - the majority of games I voted for would be irrelevant and not in the list.
oops :P
It's a funny list though :D
Comrade Natrak - June 16, 2005 03:22 AM (GMT)
I reckon once this is all over we should have a 'battle of the top 100'
We have the games pitted against each other and everyone votes.
eg.
Super Mario Bros. 3 vs. Jak 3
Gran Turismo vs. Final Fantasy X
etc.
etc.
It'd be a good way to decide our top game, and we could figure out a way to derive a better top 100 from the Battle results. Hell, I'd be up for counting the votes.
taprod - June 16, 2005 11:30 AM (GMT)
Halo higher than Shenmue 2? :crybaby:

| Gran Turismo vs. Final Fantasy X |
How can you even compare those two games?

| Super Mario Bros. 3 vs. Jak 3 |
Anybody who seriously votes for Jak 3 above Mario 3 needs to get their head checked.
Beast - June 16, 2005 12:48 PM (GMT)
Next update has been delayed until tomorrow. I've got to return some video tapes
BrotherEstapol - June 16, 2005 12:52 PM (GMT)
Beast and Texta are brothers for those who don't know, and I think Texta forgot to sign Beast out. :P
Beast - June 16, 2005 09:28 PM (GMT)
And the next time he posts as me he will get a beat down!
ultracrazy1 - June 17, 2005 10:54 AM (GMT)
Why reveal them so slowly? Why not just say the top 5 tomorrow?
Texta - June 17, 2005 10:55 AM (GMT)
And next time he doesn't log off after visiting here I'll put a password on my computer!
Bit of a suprise with number 10 hey. I did a re count and it seems that I didn't stuff up on that.
Cubeoid - June 17, 2005 12:51 PM (GMT)
Yoshi's Island was a bit of a suprise but other than that the top ten is looking pretty good to me. Not to say Yoshi's Island wasn't cool of course. Morrowind, GTA, Prime and SM64 are all awesome games.
ultracrazy1 - June 17, 2005 12:53 PM (GMT)
I haven't played yoshi's island but some people say its the best 2d platformer out there.
f15active - June 17, 2005 01:36 PM (GMT)
Is yoshis island super mario world 2? if so, i agree with them.
Silph - June 17, 2005 02:03 PM (GMT)
Yoshi's Island kicked arse! >_<
Also, Donkey Kong Country 2 lower than 1 and 3? It was much better than 1, and slightly better than 3!
Comrade Natrak - June 17, 2005 02:04 PM (GMT)
Yup, Yoshi's Island is Super Mario World 2, and as far as I'm concerned it's unsurprising. As Ultracrazy put it, Yoshi's Island is, in my opinion, and that of many others, the greatest 2-D Platformer ever.
Oh and Taprod, those were mere examples, I picked four games off the top of my head, you weren't supposed to look too deep into the whole thing, they were merely intended to give you a picture of how my idea would work.
rampaging_geek - June 18, 2005 12:01 AM (GMT)
Good to see alot of variety between which platform the top 102's games are on. I reckon #1 will either be Half-Life 2 or Final Fantasy VII.
Also, I found it interesting that System Shock 2 ended up infront on Deus Ex. They're both fairly similar games, but I thought these days Deus Ex would be more popular.

Where would the excitement in that be? Hopefully I can drag this out for another four days :D
[DZ] - June 18, 2005 12:29 AM (GMT)
I'm leaving tomorrow and won't be back in 2 weeks. No internet access for me. Reveal tomorrow morning! :(
